Needs From: United Way of Utah County

Help young kids (ages 5–8) discover music through singing, learning to read music, and playing the recorder at United Way of Utah County Community American Fork. Volunteers assist during weekly classes on Mondays from 4–5PM and help prepare for a holiday performance each semester. No music experience required, just a love for working with kids!  Little Musicians is a weekly music class for children ages 5 to 8 who are curious about music and eager to learn. Each Monday from 4–5PM, kids gather to explore singing, music reading, and beginner recorder skills in a fun, supportive environment.    Volunteers will assist the instructor by helping manage small groups, encouraging participation, and supporting the children as they practice. Each semester ends with a holiday-themed performance where the children showcase what they've learned.  This is a great opportunity for volunteers who enjoy working with kids and want to be part of a creative, educational experience. No formal music background is required—just a positive attitude and willingness to help!

Join us for a playful and engaging volunteer opportunity with young children ages 5–8! Volunteers will help guide and play age-appropriate board games with small groups of children.

All materials will be provided.  This is a great opportunity for anyone who enjoys working with kids and wants to make a positive impact through play.

This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact in your community through language education.

Do you have a love for books and a heart for helping kids grow? Join our Children’s Reading Club and help young readers—ages 6 to 18—develop a lifelong love of reading in a fun, supportive environment!

Our Reading Club combines shared reading, group discussions, and interactive activities to help children build confidence, improve literacy, and discover the joy of books. As a volunteer, you’ll work with kids in small groups or one-on-one, helping them with pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading fluency. You’ll play a key role in encouraging consistent reading habits, celebrating progress, and making reading exciting and accessible for all ages and skill levels.
